Why Shipping Is Going To Get Even More Expensive
Everyone who buys stamps or sends a package knows that parcel transportation has been skyrocketing. We have all been witness to the phenomenon of fluctuating fuel prices and some pretty severe spikes in the last few years. It's time to understand why shipping companies are tagging us with such high fuel surcharges.
"In other energy trading, heating oil rose 5.25 cents to finish at $3.1511 per gallon, while gasoline futures fell less than a penny to end at $2.6368 per gallon. Natural gas finished virtually unchanged at $3.65 per 1,000 cubic feet."

It's been a while since I (and many other stores) was able to keep up selling books, since Amazon pretty much has the entire book market in the bag. But I wanted to share with you one of my very most favorite books.
Hydro Power: part 2
We haven't actually finished the task of installing the new battery. When we removed the old battery we also had to remove the vented enclosure it was in. Hydrogen and oxygen gases are generated during charging, particularly so during the equalization process. These two gases are not only highly explosive, they cause electrical components to corrode. Thus we have one task remaining, that being the reconstruction of the battery enclosure.
